The Generalitat de Catalunya will contribute 26.2 million euros of this budget for the two initiatives in the Camp de Tarragona region, which will directly benefit 7,530 residents in the Areas of Special Attention (AEE) where the transformations will take place.
Across Catalonia, 33 projects from 34 municipalities in the eight 'vegueries' (administrative regions) have been chosen, with a total budget of 582 MEUR. The Generalitat will allocate 355 MEUR, a figure that has been increased twice from the initial 200 MEUR to the current 355 MEUR, representing a 77.5% rise from the original plan. This increase has allowed the number of beneficiary municipalities to grow from 20 to 34 compared to the first call.
The 'Plan de Barris i Viles' 2025-2029, based on the Law for the Urban, Environmental, and Social Improvement of Neighborhoods and Towns, aims for urban and social regeneration in areas with accumulated vulnerabilities. The projects focus on physical transformation, ecological transition, and socio-community action, with a minimum total investment of 1.6 billion euros between 2025 and 2029.
In L'Espluga de Francolí, the project 'Re-viu l’Espluga' aims to transform the municipality by addressing mutual urban, residential, climatic, social, and economic vulnerabilities, including street regeneration, housing rehabilitation, and climate change adaptation.
In Valls, the plan focuses on the Historic Center and the first ring of the city walls, tackling housing degradation, lack of accessibility and green spaces, and social vulnerability. The action axes include social cohesion, rehabilitation of housing and businesses, and improvement of public space and sustainable mobility.
